Ed, I see your point. I just don't know how you would go about convincing anyone that believes that. Consider how many people in the U.S. believe that Obama is a practicing Muslim, or that 9-11 was some kind of government conspiracy. Any attempt to reason with such people is futile and may make them believe what they believe even more strongly. A couple of days ago I was researching just what it would take to make a really simplified flight simulator Activity. Suppose I had found enough information and had actually written it. Put that together with the Quar'an studying Activity and we'd be accused of training the next generation of terrorists.
The only thing I can think of that might help is using local organizations like the one in Nepal to create custom versions of SoaS with pre-loaded content chosen for their own country. Even then, suppose we just decided to target the United States with SoaS how would we select content that would be compelling but wouldn't offend anyone? I don't think you could do it.
